How to install muffler

fitch615 · 05-19-2005

I was thinking of buying a JBA single exhaust for my V6. First of all, any opinions would be great, second, how HARD is it to install this. I have no knowledge of this. Does the car need to be jacked up. It is a slip on, so no welding. Any info as soon as possible because it is an ebay auction ending tonight. Thanks in advance.

The car does not need to be jacked up to take the muffler off only some bolts and slip it out!

I just checked it out, I see that, those pins into those brackets: do they just pull out?

Don't try and pull the muffler off of the brackets while installed on the car. It is much easier to just remove the brackets from the car while still attached to the muffler. Then, once the muffler is off, transfer the brackets onto the new one and re-install. It is probably the easiest mod you will ever do. When I changed my mufflers to the Magnaflows the first muffler took me about 45 minutes because I was going slow, getting the right size wrenches, etc. The second muffler probably only took 15 minutes.
